Bill Stockton says, "I can get interested in almost anything: welded sculpture, hand-made felt, old photographs, wall paper, stuff pasted to an abandoned farm house, and realistic portraits of my neighbors. But my main interest has been and always will be the harsh, abstract, semi-wilderness qualities of central Montana. Why? Because I was born and raised there, I guess." Bill Stockton studied art in Paris on the GI Bill and was an abstract expressionist in the 1950's. He lives on a sheep ranch near Grass Range, Montana.
